‘23 Recruiting Forum: Official South Carolina Pregame/Game Thread

Anybody see Beasley in the second half? Saw he got hurt but don’t recall him going back in

He played whole second half. He came back the next series after injury, but we did play him, Herring, Carter and Telander so he did not play every play

I think the point you all are missing, its been mentioned, Nico doesnt want to play, Nicos family doesnt want him to play.

Lmao...so CJH is letting parents of a player dictate whom he plays? Errrrkkk

Finally, a celebratory pour of some Stagg. She's a strong one. Would take chrome off a bumper.

Even weirder that it bothers you so much when people point out that it might not be a bad idea to get your backup QB some reps when the opportunity presents itself.

We all enjoyed the win. No way not to enjoy putting Beamer and Rattler in their place. But it’s very valid to say that it was a missed opportunity to not let Nico play the last possession.

You're just being dumb and playing sleight of hand. No one in the history of the world ever thought or said that

get your backup QB some reps when the opportunity presents itself.

is a bad idea. But those last snaps to run out the clock don't qualify as quality reps.

You should be pissed that the officials and replay booth didn't call that safety on Rattler on the grounds of intentional grounding. 9 point swing. Nico would have played the last real series. That would be a legit complaint.

Yes, coaches make promises like that during recruiting.
Barnes has done it in basketball a couple times as well.

 

[Vol since 77]

How abt dem Vols?

 

[InVOLuntary]

I wouldn’t trust the gamecocks to not try and take Nico's knees out. No way I'm playing him there.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Great competitive composure by our guys, resetting after Bru’s injury and rallying together. Let’s keep growing and improving! Heal up this week!

I dont believe that, makes zero sense. Who said that?

Hes too skinny, needs to add weight/muscle.

Well that was our plan from the beginning. lol

Huh? Where did you hear this?

 

[85SugarVol]

Not true. The complainers would be complaining.

Also, those weren't "meaningful game reps."

Meaningful to the outcome of the game? No.

Meaningful to Nico’s development? Yes.

From a poster in the Braves thread.

Not the only place.

 

[Orange Studs]

Guilty of worrying about that before the game.

Oh I was to. Absolutely. Was just wondering if we might get a commitment after that game experience. lol

 

[Orange.]

Yes, they would have been meaningful. Let him play that last possession with the full playbook at his disposal. Any rep you can get a true freshman quarterback is something he can learn from.

We will just have to agree to disagree if you can’t understand that.

OK. Ask Danny White if you can have Heupel's job.

I'm celebrating, and done with this needless drama and bitching. It's

 

[tnhunter 10]

Not the only place.

Than he doesn't need to ne the 2nd QB. I agree he needs to add weight, but it doesn't make sense to not want to play. What sort of "leader" doesn't want to play.

I agree it’s bs to argue about it. I believe you’re silly. You believe I’m silly. As I said, agree to disagree. GBO

Its not about wanting to play, its being ready.
If Heupel asked him/them im sure they would let him.

When Dobbs made his first start under Butch against Auburn, it was said Butch had promised Dobbs parents he wouldnt start his first year, but injuries made it happen.

Do you consider Dobbs not a leader?

That's why they never showed it on replay. It was intentional grounding which is a safety.

There was a receiver in the area. It went right over his head. However, he was out of bounds, and I'm not sure he counts if he ran himself out of bounds. But maybe they said he was forced out. He was definitely there (I had to watch the replay several times, he was hidden by a ton of our players on the sideline), but I'd have to research the rule to see if an out of bounds receiver counts for avoiding intentional grounding.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Meaningful to the outcome of the game? No.

Meaningful to Nico’s development? Yes.

Baffling how some have the inability to grasp something so simple. No point in arguing about it at this point. Nico didn’t play, is what it is. We got a much needed win and have some good things to build on headed into the bye week.

[Vols2DaWall]

Leggette was non existent in this game

Slaughter did fantastic on him

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

He got mugged. Still amazed they didnt throw a flag on that (even though we would’ve declined)
